Re-lock bootloader, flash stock firmware and send your phone to Sony

I read that re-locking a bootloader with a custom kernel installed would brick your phone, is that not correct? I belive the correct way would to be to reflash your phone to stock using SEUS and then lock the bootloader?
I'm not saying that eagleeyetom is wrong, I'm fairly new to this type of thing but I do remember the unlockbootloader guide stating not to relock bootloader with a custom Kernel installed as you'd brick the phone. Just trying to help
thanks for help.
my touchscreen is broken. I wanna change it to the new one.
I should relock my phone, right??
Are they check the software?? I think i've got the hardware problem..
Yeah, you're right. You should first flash stock kernel and then re-lock.
thanks.. i'll try it..
Hi there!
I've unlocked using flashtool, installed CWM Recovery and rooted using the recovery-only root.
Now, I need to return the phone to as stock as possible - certainly removing root, but relocking the bootloader would be a good secondary objective.
My current plan is to use the flashtool to relock the bootloader, then use the PC software to repair the phone. Will this work?
Thanks for your help
Edit: I've searched the forums but can't find an answer, including in the starting thread - please link to a relevant portion instead of the whole thing if possible
Further edit: There's no 'relock' option in the flashtool - huh?

As of now there is no option to relock the bootloader. You can unroot the phone by simply performing a repair system command in Sony PC Companion or flashing a stock rom. This has been explained in every single rooting or custom MOD thread.
Ya you are right. Relock bootloader using flashtool and repair or flash a ftf from flashtool.
And IIRC in the beta version of flashtool u will find option to relock under BLU. And btw u won't get back DRM keys and no Bravia engine.

I don't see the option to relock anywhere - perhaps as I did the unlock on another PC?
If you can't get it to work with PC Companion use SUS (Sony Update Service which you can download from Sony's website) http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ --> for UK

You have to relock the bootloader with flashtool beta4,click on BLU.
Flash a stock rom and repair it by update service.

Thanks - I expected there to be a separate button for relocking - whoops!
I've flashed the stock ROM and that's gotten rid of the root. It also says that the bootloader can be unlocked, so that seems all perfect as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for your help, ladies and gentlemen.
Hello xda members!
I am using Xperia SP without touching anything.
I mean I didn't flash any roms - root it - unlock bootloader etc.
I wan't to root my phone but I am afraid of loosing my warranty.
I can see at some threads if I unroot my phone and repair it with PC Companion or SEUS it's like
i get back my warranty.
Is it true?
Thanks
Do whatever you want on a LOCKED bootloader. You just need to make a copy of your actual firmware, a .ftf file to use with flashtool. If you need to send your phone for warranty repair you flash the .ftf and it gets everything like new.

I am going to follow this guide [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375]
it requires me to flash some old kernel then root then flash the new.
Will this interfere with the warranty because I am flashing?
Or is it OK to flash?

I don't think flashing will affect your warranty, but if it does and you want to send the device back for repairs, just use SEUS or PC compagnon to do a repair

There are 4 answers already, please follow them, I never said to use flashtool to flash 534 FW, I said to use flashtool to relock your bootloader
Repair your phone using pccompanion. If the bootloader is unlocked then it wont work, and it will tell you.
If it is locked then it will work and you will be on a factory shipped latest firmware.
I'm on. 257 repairing thru pc companion

1) You dont need to unlock the bootloader to root, towelroot method will root phone just fine
2) Unlocking bootloader caused some issues in BE but if you are just rooting without unlocking there wont be any issues
3) Unlock bootloader only if you are planning to flash custom roms(Remember unlocking bootloader WILL void your warranty)
4) Flashing custom kernels and roms is risky business so please read up before doing anything

Nope, I just sent my XZ to repair service for broken glass, BL was unlocked and I didn't even re-locked it before sending to customer service. Everything went fine, repaired, ROM updated and still under warranty.

Broken glass was a "hardware issue'
If your phone goes kapoot(Hard brick) while tinkering with roms or anything software related and your BL is unlocked chances are the service center might not honor warranty as it will be a "Software issue'

Sorry I know I'm late but it can be helpful for some to make some precision about warranty...
I said that because lots of peoples always think as long as you unlock BL warranty is lost no matter if it's software or hardware related.
Even Sony website says on unlock bootloader official page "warranty may be voided".
I'm sure there's Xperia owner that doesn't bother sending their smartphone to repair center just because they think it is useless as they unlocked BL...
Now if they read this they know there's always a chance to repair under warranty.
